How can I fix font and color issues on my Sense theme product pages?

Technical Q&A
,

Topic summary

Two issues after adding a new section to a Shopify Sense theme: fonts change unexpectedly on product pages (Home page unaffected), and switching the Color scheme to “background-2” doesn’t alter the background color.

A code snippet is central to the problem. It includes a full HTML document structure, Google Fonts (Source Sans Pro), external custom CSS, and inline CSS that sets global box-sizing, base font-size, body font-family and colors, plus animations and a second style block. JavaScript references include Modernizr, jQuery, and a main.js file.

Response provided: one participant reviewed the site, deemed the issue complex, and recommended hiring a developer via Shopify Experts. No specific technical fix or steps were offered.

Status: unresolved and open. No decisions or implemented changes reported; key questions remain about why product page fonts differ and why the “background-2” scheme has no effect.

Key terms: Shopify Sense theme (a store template), CSS (styles controlling layout, fonts, colors), Color scheme “background-2” (a preset design setting within the theme).

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out for assistance regarding two problems I’m facing with a new section I added to my Sense theme.

The first issue is related to unexpected font changes that occur only on product pages when I add the section. Surprisingly, the fonts remain unaffected on the Home page.

The second problem arises when attempting to change the Color scheme to “background-2.” Despite my efforts, the background color remains unchanged.

Could you kindly take a look at the provided code and help me identify a solution?
